EPISODE 10:
BITSIE’S BIG SURPRISE.

BITSIE IS OUTSIDE THE BEACH HOUSE TALKING
TO A STARFISH A ROCK AND A BARNACLE LYING
ON THE SAND IN FRONT OF HIM.

BITSIE
Hello, Starfish! Hello, Rock! Hello, Barnacle!
So who wants to go swimming in the cybersea with me?

NOBODY ANSWERS HIM. BITSIE LOOKS
CONFUSED.

BITSIE (to himself, sadly)
How come nobody wants to play with me?
Hmmm. Maybe they’re just shy.

BITSIE TURNS BACK TO THE STARFISH,
ROCK AND BARNACLE.

BITSIE (sweetly, so as not to scare them)
You don’t have to be shy of me.
I’m not the itsiest-Bitsiest mean. I’m just plain Bitsie!
Ha-Ha! Now do you wantto go swimming with me?

JUST THEN BYTESIE ARRIVES IN HIS BATHING SUIT.
HE LOOKS AT BITSIE QUIZZICALLY AS HE TALKS TO
THE ROCK, THE STARFISH AND THE BARNACLE

BYTESIE
Hi, Bitsie!

BITSIE TURNS AND CLAPS HIS HANDS IN
DELIGHT WHEN HE SEES HIS BITSIEST
BESTIEST FRIEND ARRIVE.

BITSIE
Bytesie! I’m so happy to see you!
I want you to meet my new friends!

BITSIE POINTS TO EACH OF THE THREE
OBJECTS IN TURN.

BITSIE
This is Starfish. This is Rock. And this is Barnacle.

BYTESIE LOOKS SURPRISED.

BITSIE (CONT.)
They’re going to play with us today!

BYTESIE DOESN’T WANT TO HURT HIS
FRIEND’S FEELINGS, BUT HE KNOWS STARFISH,
ROCKS AND BARNACLES CAN’T PLAY.

BYTESIE:
There’s something very important I have to tell you,
Bitsie…

BITSIE TURNS HIS WORRIED FACE
TOWARD BYTESIE…
